thanks for any help

Assuming you have PHP setup properly in your Windows system PATH environment variable, you just open command prompt, change the directory to the phpBB root directory of the board you're trying to install, and then run those two commands.

I am a little bit disapointed that suddenly develloppers "cut" poeple from all the recent releases as we use windows (not linux) on local environnement and wampserver (or something like this).
we both (a friend and me) were following day after day the evolution of phpbb 3.10 for testing......for the moment it ended up.
why is it not possible to continue to give us the tool or really clear explanation which can enable us tu continue testing?

do not take my reflexion from a bad sense, I sais this because I'm attached to phpbb from a long time.

...requires php (>= 5.3.2.0). No package satisfies this dependency.

phpBB 3.1 requires PHP 5.3.2 or greater, and it seems that you don't have that.

have a nice week end

Windows users haven't been "cut" from development. The only difference is that curl isn't available for a one-step process. Just use the download link on the composer site, put it in your phpBB folder and then run php composer.phar install.

If you really want it all commandline based like the *nix folks, then you can use bitsadmin which has been around since at least XP SP2:

msdos command line
first step ===> bitsadmin /transfer phpbbjob /download http://getcomposer.org/installer c:\wamp\www\phpBB\composer.phar
result ===>composer.phar is created successfully in the folder of phpbb

(but I noticed It was necessarry to keep "phpBB" as table name because if not composer.phar is not created with the good name and at the good place.....pehaps not important ...)

second step ===> php composer.phar install
result ===> no way to initiate install ( do I missed something ? )
